RRB NTPC Fee Refund 2026 for CEN 05/2024 Begins
The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has initiated the RRB NTPC Fee Refund 2026 process for CEN 05/2024 (NTPC Graduate Level). Candidates who appeared in the First Stage CBT are eligible for the refund of the examination fee (₹400 for UR/OBC/EWS and ₹250 for SC/ST/PwBD/Female categories, after bank charges).
Most refunds have been processed and credited to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. Candidates facing issues due to incorrect bank details will receive SMS/email intimation on 2 June 2026. A special Bank Account Rectification Link will be active from 3 June to 12 June 2026. This is the final opportunity to update details and receive the refund.
